[00:12] <phillw> gsilva: the couple of people I know on here are benonsoftware cprofitt eagles0513875_ pleia2 and pmatulis But, you should really introduce your self and what your plans are.
[00:13] <gsilva> sure phillw, I'll ask around to see a possible method for me to implement
[20:59] <phillw> pmatulis: there is a young manual doc person from lubuntu with the the nick gislva I ask that you and the others give this young man ever assistance.
[21:00] <pmatulis> phillw: a manual doc person?
[21:00] <phillw> pmatulis: yup for lubuntu manual, but has to work with ubuntu manual
[21:01] <pmatulis> phillw: i didn't know there was a lubuntu manual.  i also thought the ubuntu manual was defunct.  anywhoo, i'll keep my eye out for gislva
[21:02] <phillw> it was a bit of a bolt of the blue
[21:02] <phillw> ubuntu manual is for each LTS
[21:03] <phillw> but, gs wants to overhaul the lubuntu docs system, which is fine by me.
[22:34] <pleia2> phillw: knome was helping them yesterday, did they need more?
[22:34] <pleia2> (before you joined)
[22:34] <pleia2> wb gsilva
[22:35] <knome> i believe a lot more is needed, though i think it would need some team-internal research on what they want first
[22:35] <pleia2> yeah, the links you gave them will be useful
[22:35] <gsilva> hi, pleia2
[22:35] <gsilva> thank you
[22:36] <pleia2> if they really want a manual rather than documentation, they should ask the ubuntu manual folks though, they are in #ubuntu-manual and have a launchpad.net mailing list that's different from the doc team
[22:36] <phillw> pleia2: knome I believe he has got his head around the basics of pulling in the manual
[22:36] <knome> i have very little knowledge on the ubuntu manual
[22:36] <gsilva> Yes, thank you though. I had to bash my head around what I could do
[22:36] <knome> there are several ways to achieve a similar thing
[22:36] <phillw> gsilva: ah, thanks for hanging on in.. .the people here will answer and help you.
[22:36] <gsilva> so, I managed to learn the basics of Git, but apparently it's better for both - including Ubuntu - if I do that in Bazaar
[22:37] <pleia2> gsilva: yeah, we use bzr
[22:37] <gsilva> So... No worries :) I have a plan, although I'm not sure if that will work. Hopefully it will.
[22:37] <gsilva> I'm just not sure how you guys are compiling the final file, but I have an idea
[22:37] <knome> bzr/git are very similar
[22:37] <gsilva> I never used tex before, so I'll have to learn another thing
[22:37] <pleia2> bzr and git are pretty similar, they are both distributed RCSs
[22:37] <pleia2> tex is only used by the ubuntu manual team, which again, is not us :)
[22:38] <gsilva> right
[22:38] <pleia2> xubuntu and the server guide uses docbook, ubuntu docs use mallard
[22:38] <gsilva> No worries, I got my head around things. Hopefully I'll manage to do something
[23:10] <phillw> pleia2: and knome thanks for your help, he's getting there
[23:14] <gsilva> oh yes, of course I appreciate your help
